Residents of states that refuse to set up health insurance exchanges under Obamacare are set to be hit with higher premiums under new rules announced by the Health and Human Services Department.

Insurance companies will be charged 3.5 percent of any premiums they sell through the federal exchanges, the department announced Friday. And insurers are likely to pass that surcharge on to clients, leaading to higher premiums.

The only states to be affected are those that refuse to set up their own exchanges because of opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They are almost certain to be those under Republican control. In those states, HHS will set up the exchanges.

He’s been backhanding states like Texas and Arizona for years. Remember his callous comments during the Texas wildfires..”bet they believe in global warming now” or something to that effect. And who can forget the complete snub of where the Space shuttles would go. Nope, not Texas, not Houston where Mission Control is.Nope...New freaking York and Caleeefornia.

His strongarm Chicago thug tactics are way beyond their expiration date....

>>> I have to agree. He needs to be removed. This is getting ridiculous. Someone get some dirt on this bastard. Get him out.

LOL!... you mean like evidence of forgery???

Don’t we have that already?

Obama could commit an execution style murder on the front lawn of the White House with 500 witnesses, and the press would refuse to report it... Law enforcement would refuse to take him into custody. The courts would punt to congress.

If no one buys the federal exchange policies, then no one gets charged. We have to oppose socialized medicine every step of the way. That includes systematically under-withholding, so that the IRS cannot collect the fines between now and the time that this destructive bill is repealed.

Completely changing a huge industry on whims of the Administration will be like creating workable prototype automobiles for the entire nation without knowing how automobiles are actually designed, manufactured, financed, marketed, or repaired.

Good luck, Bronco Bamma...you're gonna need it.

Unless I am wrong, Marxism/Socialism is about to get a lesson in reality (straight from the theories of the University professors into the marketplace).

Yeehaaaw!
